How to Edit the .cfg File?

Macintosh User · July 6th, 2004

I've come to the conclusion that I have not made the correct revisions in the .cfg file. So how do I access it as whenever I double-click on it a version of MacMAME launches, and when I attempt to load it in the terminal it says 'permission denied' or something to that effect. Do I need a text editor? And then, what do I do? Or don't tell me step by step, I'll figure it out. Just please let me know how to open it up so I can make the correct revisions. Thanks and great job I am totally psyched that Virtual Jag is being developed for OS X. It's a dream come true. Thanks again.

Figured it out, edited it with TextEdit... duh, but anyway still not working. I can't set the correct path for the emulator to find the roms... damn I'm so confused now. I thought merely typing in the name of my hard drive directory along with the path to where the roms are stored would work but it didn't... I'm assuming I should have left it like it was before I messed with it. So I returned it to its original form. Still can't find the roms I have on my drive though... is there a special name to name the roms? I have Atari Karts (1995).j64 in my ROMs folder. Damn I'm confused. I wish I could get it to work. Please if any of you have suggestions... please help me.
